Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S5 will feature a 2K QHD display and iris scanning technology, and it will get its grand unveiling at Mobile World Congress next month, an unnamed “tipster” has claimed. Samsung is expected to maintain the plastic form factor we’ve seen from the rest of its smartphones, concentrating on improvements internally instead.
A mysterious new Sony smartphone that’s believed to be a successor to the flagship Xperia Z1 has been pictured in the wild ahead of its official unveiling. The device looks a lot like the Xperia Z1 and it carries the “D6503” model number, and it’s thought that Sony will announce the device at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the end of February.
Starting today, T-Mobile customers can register their interest in the world’s first curved self-healing smartphone, the LG G Flex, which will be available to purchase from the operators online store or in any of its bricks-and-mortar stores nationwide in the not-too-distant future. By pre-registering users will automatically receive an email notification the second the official pre-order page goes live, so they are effectively guaranteeing themselves a place in the queue to order this revolutionary handset.
Last week a series of screenshots were posted on Twitter indicating that Samsung’s in the process of working on a major design overhaul for its famous TouchWiz user interface which gets plastered over the top of the traditional Android OS on all of its current smartphones. Today, two new screenshots have emerged showing what appears to be an informative card based UI, similar to what Google created with Now.
I crossed the 3-million Google+ circles line this morning.
It’s weird and thrilling to have so many “followers,” and to be sandwiched in circle counts between Paris Hilton, who has a couple hundred thousand more circles than I do, and Rihanna, who will probably catch up to me and pass me at some point in the future. (One of the great things about Google+ is that the geeks hold their own against entertainers in popularity.)
But mostly, it’s been an eye-opening adventure for me. Here’s what I learned along the way.
